Here ya go buddy I used chat gpt to reformat your resume. I keep my resume on one page but I think you have some solid experience. I recommend having a LinkedIn and take a look at other dispatchers skill sets and formatting. This helped me tone down my resume to the most important stuff.
For first jobs if you cant get into Dispatch, ranked from top to bottom, you should consider.
1. Flight Operations.
2. Military Aircraft Dispatcher
3. Crew Scheduling
4. Any Ramp job. (Preferably with Southwest) Southwest likes to take care of their own.
Good luck

We do but the training is specific to your shop.

thank you so much, could I squeeze all the text on one page? would that be of a good advantage verses the two page resume?

You've spent two pages not listing any work experience. I don't know if you've ever had or held a job from this resume. If you haven't, that's probably a big problem.
For all I know reading this you're a 250 hour pilot that spends all day on VATSIM.

Work history is going to be important. Every dispatch job ive ever had has wanted my work history for x amount of years.

haha well I have never spent time on sim, that's all actual airplanes, and of course that's why I posted here that I need help coming up with a professional resume, but I like the joke

Do you think I should mention the flight schools I went under "education section" or just put only my high school, I don't have a college degree,

I personally, only list the certificate. Not the flight school. I have the issuing entity as the FAA.

2 pages seems a little too much, my resume is one page and I have years of experience

I wouldn't mention the touring the United NOC on the resume. That would be more of something for the cover letter to explain your interest. CPR/First Aid probably isn't useful to have on there either. You may be able to pare down the skills section also to 3 lines and focus it on the specific job.
For your welding experience, think about how what you were doing can apply to the dispatch position and focus on that. For example, cuts and bevels may not be applicable to dispatch, but receiving a mission (weld something together) and coming up with a plan to complete it with minimal supervision is.
And this is a personal preference, but I'll put city and zip on the resume but not my full address. Again, that's just personal preference.

Another thing I do is I have a LinkedIn that I can go more in depth with my job responsibilities in that I put on my Resume. Most jobs have you apply online and type your skills anyways. Because of this, I may have a very basic description on the physical resume to keep it to a page, but then expand on it and give the full description on the actual application. Again, it's a personal preference thing but it helps me keep the resume to 1 page.
